Privacy & Access Law Services

Enterprise Privacy Compliance

Comprehensive privacy compliance guidance across British Columbia’s privacy legislation and applicable federal law, including FIPPA (R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 165), PIPA (S.B.C. 2003, c. 63), and PIPEDA (S.C. 2000, c. 5). We evaluate your regulatory obligations, identify areas of risk and non-compliance, and develop proportionate, practical controls tailored to your organization and aligned with the accountability principles and requirements of each applicable Act.

Freedom of Information

End-to-end advisory support for organizations responding to freedom of information and access requests under FIPPA, PIPA, and PIPEDA. We assess your obligations, understand the context and circumstances underlying each request, and support processing from intake and records searches, statutory timelines, exemptions, redaction, review, and disclosure.

Privacy Impact Assessments

Rigorous PIAs for new programs, systems, and initiatives that involve the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information. Our assessments satisfy OIPC expectations and provide defensible documentation of your due diligence.

Privacy Management Programs

Design and implementation of enterprise-wide privacy management programs that embed accountability into your organization's operations. We build the governance structures, oversight mechanisms, and continuous improvement processes that demonstrate sustained compliance to regulators and the public.

Staff Training & Workshops

Tailored training programs for public bodies and private sector teams. From front-line staff to senior leadership, we build organizational capacity to handle personal information lawfully and confidently.

Breach Response & Notification

Immediate advisory support when a privacy breach occurs. We guide organizations through containment, assessment, notification obligations, and remediation, minimizing regulatory exposure and reputational harm.

Policy Development

Drafting and review of privacy policies, information management frameworks, and governance documents. We produce clear, enforceable policies that reflect current legislative requirements and OIPC guidance.
